POLIO EFFORT
TOCOHTIHUE
TO EHD WEEK;
GOAL IS NEAR
March of Dime* Contributions
Reach $2,6M in Past Week;
Singing, Dance Add Im
petus to Campaign.
The March of Dimes campaign
has been extended through Feb
ruary 10th in a last desperate
effort to raise the remainder of
the $3,000 goal established for
Watauga county, it was an
nounced today.
More than twpnty-six hundred
dollars has been raised thus far,
and Jim Taylor, March of Dimes
director, and other campaign
workers believe that the relati
vely small additional amount
will be promptly subscribed
during the extended campaign
period.
The March of Dime* ball
yielded a net sum of $102, the
singing Saturday night an addi
tional $420, and Watauga ap
pear* to be well on the way to
fulfillment of her quota.
It ia urged that contributions
to the March of Dime* be sent
in at once, so that this county
may be over the top by Saturday
night.
BENEFIT SINGING
IS SUCCESSFUL
By JIM TAYLOR
They came. From all over the
county they came. The seat* in
the courtroom were filled. Then
the balcony was filled. One hour
before the program was schedul
ed, all available seats were
taken. And still they came. Peo
ple stood in every nook and cor
ner of the ' courtroom and bal
cony. A hundred ot more were
turned away because there was
not even standing room left.
Then at 8:00 o'clock the walls of
the courthouse rocked to the
music of twelve quartets singing
songs of joy and . praise. The
music was excellent and yet
there was something more than
music about the mammoth
March of Dimes singing held at
the county courthouse last Sat
urday night. The spirit of this
tremendous outpouring of good
will was contagious. The crowd
sensed the overwhelming obli
gation to those less fortunate
ones who have been stricken by
Infantile paralysis. Dimes and
dollars poured into the March
of Dimes treasury for the alle
viation of suffering across the
country. Before the evening was
over, $420 had been added to the
local collection;
The entire proceeds of the
event were presented to the local
chapter at the end of the pro
gram. There had been no ex
penses. Allen Gragg, chairman
of the singing, worked diligently
for two weeks in making the
necessary arrangements and
handling advance ticket sales.
Prtnk Triplet', supplied and in
stalled the sound equipment at
no cost to the chapter. Alfred
Adams served as master of cer
monies during the entire pro
gram. All the singers performed
without charge and yet they did
more ? they voted to pay the re
gular price for their own admis
sion. Richard Hodges had con
tacted th? quartets and did im
mense promotional work.
No other event staged by the
March of Dimes this year has
been as successful as the county
wide singing. The hope has al
ready been expressed by many
of the participants and score* of
the audience that this program
may become an annual affair of
the March of Dimes drive.

Senate Vacancy May
Not Be Filled
This Term.
A resolution asking that the
special Senatorial election be
cancelled in the 29th district, is
to be introduced in the House of
Representatives today, the
Democrat is informed by Re
presentative Wade E. Brown,
who states that the measure is
being sponsored by him. Repre
sentative Gentry of Ashe and J.
K. Doughton of Sparta, at the
bequest of the Democratic and
Republican leadership in the
three counties.
The election called by Gover
nor Scott for February 17, was
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of 1 Senator-elect W. B.
Reeves of West Jefferson.
No nomination had been made
by either party, and there is safe)
to be general opposition to the
election on the grounds of in
ability to get voters to partici
pate, as well as the high cost of
conducting the balloting. It is al
so said that by the time a may
could be elected and certified,
most of the important business
of the current Legislative ses
sion would be transacted.
Representative Brown points
out that the only way to forego
the election is by a Legislative
enactment. Governor Scott, who
called the election, is said to be
agreeable to its cancellation.
